Music plays an important role in our lives, especially the lyrics. This blog will display the lyrics of my favorite songs. I am descended from a sept of the clan Gunn of Scotland, so I will post a lot of Scottish folk song lyrics. Enjoy.

Grace

Unknown

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham JaillI think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?From our school days they have told us we must yearn for libertyYet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me

Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment lingerThey'll take me out at dawn and I will dieWith all my love I place this wedding ring upon your fingerThere won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understandThe love I shared for these brave men, the love for my dear landBut when glory called me to his side down in the GPOI had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment lingerThey'll take me out at dawn and I will dieWith all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your fingerThere won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking tooOn this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of youAnd I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will knowI loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.

Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment lingerThey'll take me out at dawn and I will dieWith all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your fingerThere won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbyeFor we must say goodbye
